Well done for correcting this so quickly Tim!Nevetheless I'm delighted that the Conservative party is talking to the FoE perhaps we can educate/learn from each other?

There was still a story there - contrary to Malcolm I don't think FOE have much to contribute as "Policy Officers" of any sub-group.

We need more consumer and technology driven environmental progress.

I agree with Malcolm. The Quality of Life Policy Group should involve people from different players in the environment issue - we have people with a business background working on the group and its good to have a green NGO perspective too.

I agree with 'Closet Cameroon' although I would go further. Technology is the only way forward; not giving credibility to environmentally fanatic obsessives by listening to their delusions.

Let's hope "Zac" Goldsmith's views on nuclear power aren't taken seriously when that policy review is completed, and that we move quickly away from the 'it is the last resort' nonsense.


We need a civil nuclear programme so as not to be dependent on volatile states/regions.

renewables can only provide a tiny fraction of the power we require.

And, frankly, I would prefer it if our non-urbanised space was not ruined by wind farms

"We need a civil nuclear programme so as not to be dependent on volatile states/regions..."

Never mind that a significant proportion of the raw materials for nuclear energy are sourced from sub-Saharan Africa and the former Soviet Union eh?

"And, frankly, I would prefer it if our non-urbanised space was not ruined by wind farms."

Yet again, the 'ugly' wind farms nonsense.

I was fortunate enough to spend last week down by the Kentish coast in Thanet, near the location of a new off-shore wind farm, which was far less ugly than the power station a few miles down the coast at Sandwich.

True enough, wind farms aren't pretty, but then, power stations, incinerators and toxic waste dumps aren't pretty either, and it's about time the nuclear-fetishist ecosceptics faced up to this fact.
